JeffersLos 2,258 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I would often get Chinese massages from Chinese in Australia. I've yet to find one in Thailand, never mind in Chiang Mai. I suppose that it being a profession for Thais only kind of limits the massages to Thai massages. Does anyone know of a place in Chiang Mai to get a traditional Chinese Massage please? Also interested in a proper Indian Head massage, but less so as my normal masseuse does a pretty good job at it. TIA. Link to post Share on other sites
Happy Grumpy 7,829 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 As you say, massage is a reserved occupation. Unlike wedding photography, pigeon tourism and buffet demolishing. So it would have to be a Thai that was specifically trained in it. Not easy to find. Would actually be a good business for a Thai/Chinese person to set up legally. Set it up and train the Thais in how to give Chinese massages. Link to post Share on other sites
EricTh 2,909 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 One doesn't go to Thailand for Chinese massage when there are tons of Thai massage around. That's just like going to Thailand to learn Chinese language when you should be learning Thai language instead. Link to post Share on other sites
CharlieH 28,711 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Are you referring to acupressure massage, often referred to as chinese massage ? Deep kneading, rolling, point pressure and palpation ? often incorporates elements of shiatsu (japanese) techniques. Link to post Share on other sites
Bill97 1,364 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Right Charlie,Need better definition of what OP is looking for. Chinese massage is like Chinese language, many different ones.Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Link to post Share on other sites

MrBrad 661 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I just rode by this place this morning. It's a new building (not seen on the 2018 streetview link) and they advertise massage plus acupuncture, cupping, and other Chinese health processes. It's well-signed and located on the east side of the road when going north toward Wat Fa Hahm. If you go there, please report back to let us know your impressions. https://goo.gl/maps/qYKufsWneaLunF2P9 Link to post Share on other sites
